U.S. Offers Aid to Cuba, Pushing for Reforms Amid Economic Crisis The U.S. is proposing a $100 million aid package to Cuba, aiming to encourage reforms and alleviate the countrys economic struggles. The aid, tied to specific actions, will be distributed through non-governmental organizations, not directly to the Cuban government. This move comes as Cuba faces a severe economic crisis, including power outages, and amid recent talks between Cuba and CIA Director John Ratcliffe.
